Paul Clayton was a prominent figure in the Greenwich Village folk scene of the 1960s, and a somewhat tragic figure. He was a gay man in the closeted 1960s, who, in trying to manage bipolar disorder, became addicted to drugs. He died by suicide in 1965 at the age of 37. 2/3

Bob Dylan quote:
"(Folk music) goes deeper than just myself singing it, it goes into legends and Bibles, it goes into curses and myths, it goes into plagues, it goes into all kinds of weird things that I don’t even know about, can’t pretend to know about. The only guy I know that can really do it is a guy named Paul Clayton, he’s the only guy I’ve ever heard or seen who can sing songs like this, because he’s a medium, he’s not trying to personalize it, he’s bringing it to you" 3/3
